Hi, this is Susan Paxton for Expert Village. Today we're doing a center piece for your
dining room table. Specifically with fresh flowers. We have chosen our little dish, and
we have put our foam in it. Our floral foam. And had previously soaked the floral foam
so it's good and wet. We added water, and then we added greens so that it would make
a nice full arrangement. Now we are going to add a few flowers. Different flowers give
a different atmosphere. If you did all roses in here, it would be a very formal arrangement.
And maybe a little on the romantic side. If you used all daisies, you could have a country
type of arrangement. And if you mixed your flowers it would be just a beautiful big round
bouquet of flowers. So the choice is yours. You could go to a flower shop or sometimes
maybe even go to your local grocery store. Although, being a floral shop owner, I don't
recommend buying flowers at the grocery store. Mostly because they have normally been there
for some quite some time and mostly because they have not been treated as delicately as
we treat our flowers. In the flower shop when we get our flowers, we treat them with special
flower food, and treat them with special flower food. And trim them especially to be able
to soak up that flower food. And that way they last longer.
